Recipe inspired by “Life of Pi” by Yann Martel “When you’ve suffered a great deal in life, each additional pain is both unbearable and trifling. My life is like a memento mori painting from European art: there is always a grinning skull at my side to remind me of the folly of human ambition.” “I…

$Mica\'s been playing around with stop motion and it is neat frito. She said it took forever just to do this quick video! And Charlotte and Kari have been gardening like mad men. Sometimes it\'s nice just to throw your self into a new project or hobby to get your mind off of everything. What creative projects have you been taking on recently? * * * * * #foodphotography #food #foodie #foodstagram #instafood #foodblogger #delicious #foodpics #homemade #tasty #foodstyling #love #foodpic #photgrapher #art$
$Hey guys, sorry for the delay in posts. I’ve had a lot of hard stuff on my mind what with the world exploding and all. First, I’d say we (Mica, Kari and Charlotte) stand with our black friends and neighbors. 100%, full stop. I’d also like to acknowledge how much can be done when we all stand together for change. Yesterday, Democrats unveiled what could be the most sweeping overhaul of federal policing laws in decades. It\'s called the Justice in Policing Act of 2020 and it\'s meant to reform the roughly 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the US. But there is a long way to go. Keep pushing and stay fired up. We are the change. #blacklivesmatter #wearethechange$
$Julia Child has been an inspiration of mine since I was I teeny tiny kid who was only allowed to watch PBS growing up (her and Jacques Cousteau ❤️). I\'m actually reading my way through reading \'Mastering the Art of French Cooking\' that I got as a Christmas present. The caring and detail Julia puts into her recipes overwhelm me with a sense of calm. ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ 🔗in bio for the gorgeous Milk Poached Cod in the background⠀⁣$
$How gorgeous is Mica and her photography? I\'m so lucky to have a friend that is such a talented artist. Shout out to all the photographers today! ⠀ ⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #gorgeouspicture #photography #foodphotography #food #foodie #foodstagram #instafood #foodblogger #delicious #foodpics #homemade #tasty #foodstyling #love #foodpic #photgrapher #art$
$With all the craziness going on in the world, I have been re-reading a series that gives me the escape I crave, the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. These are just the ones on my shelf, not including the ones on my Kindle. For any of you who haven\'t read it yet, it\'s a set of hilarious and insightful fantasy novels with a hodgepodge of characters and themes ( @discworldemporium has a handy reading guide). My favorites are the Witch and Death collections. What are reading right now?⠀ ⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #terrypratchett #discworld #grannyweatherwax #bookstagram #booklove #bookaholic #bookpic #bookseries #reading #bookworm #read #booknerd #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #bookshelf #love #reader #libros$
$Morning all! Have a cup of joe and a bun. A cardamom buns (Kardemummabullar) to be specific. These are a delightful pastries are from Sweden and pair marvelously with strong coffee and a copy of \'Pippi Longstocking\'!

$Spices make the world go around. Well, maybe not any more but that doesn\'t stop me from being fascinated by the history of the Spice trade from Europe through Turkey and the Middle East and down to India (I have \'Nathaniel\'s Nutmeg\' on my to-read list). And I\'m an unabashed spice hoarder, my favorites right now are smoked paprika and cardamom. Do you guys have any spices that you can\'t live with out?⠀ ⠀ 🔗in the bio for the scrumptious South Indian Tiffin Sambar pictured!⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #spicetrade #indianfood #lifeofpi #foodblogger #food #foodie #foodphotography #instafood #foodstagram #yummy #foodies #delicious #foodblog #healthyfood #instagood #foodpics #tasty #homemade #dinner #foods #foodpic #cooking$
